Comment on What we get when male fitness standards clash with female preferencesparent

Comments

Gym is something men do to compete with other men and look good to other men. It has zero to do with what women like.

This is nonsense. Most men do gym because they want to look a certain way (leaner and in some cases more muscular). It's largely unrelated to what women want.

But when I wrote that in comments, invariably, men felt offended and angry.

Rightfully so. It's a gross generalization (and oversimplification).

It is gross generalization to say that super buffed is not general female preference? That media targetted at women do not contain such guys, but media targetted at men do?

I suggest you look at those media. Big muscles are what men like men to have.

Men do gym for various reasons.
